Welcome!  I’m so glad you’re here.  I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Seattle, and seeing clients throughout Washington state (LF61490589).

 

I am a white, cisgender, queer woman who is also a mom.  I care about how my clients’ identities and experiences of oppression impact how they feel about themselves and their lives.  I became a therapist because I know how helpful it can be to have a safe space where you can express your feelings.  I strive to create a nurturing environment, where you feel heard, and accepted for who you are.  

 

Before becoming a therapist, I was an elementary and preschool teacher.  I have also facilitated support groups for parents of newborns, and volunteered at Seattle’s Crisis Connections.  I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Antioch University, Seattle.  I have co-led a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills group, teaching Mindfulness, Emotional Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness and Distress Tolerance.  I integrate these skills in my work with clients coping with challenging emotions or navigating relationships with others.

 

I enjoy spending free time with my partner, children, and dogs.  I love hiking, swimming in Lake Washington, and curling up with a novel on a rainy day.  Originally from the East Coast, I moved West 25 years ago, and fell in love with Seattle for its lush, green beauty.

​

I look forward to meeting you, and hope that we can work together.  Please reach out by email, phone, or using the contact form below.
